“Karate Kid” is kicking its way back to movie theaters this weekend.
The most recent version of the renowned series, “Karate Kid: Legends,” has currently grossed $2.3 million at the box office during previews. It’s anticipated to generate approximately $25 million in its initial weekend, with some predictions even suggesting a potential haul of up to $30 million. Given its production budget of $45 million, this Sony and Columbia Pictures production is set to achieve a profitable high kick.
In the film “Karate Kid: Legends,” a blend of veteran and up-and-coming actors take center stage. The original Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph Macchio in the 1984 classic and its subsequent films, is back alongside martial arts legend Jackie Chan, who shared screen time with Jaden Smith in the 2010 adaptation of “The Karate Kid.” Newcomer Ben Wang, a Chinese teenager relocating to New York City, learns karate from both Chan’s character Mr. Han and Macchio’s LaRusso, aiming to win the Five Boroughs karate tournament. Ming-Na Wen, Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley, Aramis Knight, Wyatt Oleff, Shaunette Renée Wilson, and others also join the cast.
Once again, Disney and Rideback’s live-action version of “Lilo & Stitch” is anticipated to dominate the box office for the second week running. It’s projected to earn over $60 million during its second weekend, breaking records from last week as the top Memorial Day weekend launch. On the other hand, Paramount and Skydance’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” and “Karate Kid: Legends” will compete fiercely, with the latter aiming to collect approximately $30 million in its second week.
Additionally, starting this weekend, we have the A24 horror film “Bring Her Back.” This chilling production aims to terrify audiences with an estimated $6 million opening weekend gross. Directed by the duo Michael and Danny Philippou, who were behind the successful 2022 horror sensation “Talk to Me.
